I am recording from a computer through an audio interface into a Sony TC WR635S deck, and this tape handled dynamic material beautifully. On Type I, quiet sections of songs would sometimes hover close to the noise floor, which made intros and softer passages feel thin or slightly unstable. With the Tascam Type II, those same sections sound clean, stable, and present. The headroom is noticeably better, and the overall playback feels very close to the original source. High frequencies remain clear without sounding harsh, and low end stays controlled without getting muddy. Vocals, especially in softer openings, sound natural and solid instead of grainy. After calibration, this tape delivered what feels like a one to one transfer of my recordings. If you are recording modern, dynamic material and want a reliable, high quality Type II option, this Tascam tape performs exactly as it should. Highly recommended. Review: I like them - There are some negative reviews about these cassettes, and while I respect those opinions, I have not had that kind of experience. I bought a couple of these and compared against some other, similar spec’d cassettes, using a Tascam Porta07 and a Yamaha MT4x. To my ears, they sound very good, no problems with hiss or other extraneous noises. Good quality. ## Features - The TASCAM 424-S Studio Cassette is a genuine high bias type II cobalt oxide cassette. specifically engineered for outstanding output (4db louder than standard Type II cassettes), low distortion, and unmatched musical clarity when used with TASCAM Portastudio cassette recorders. - Industry leading specs like high coercivity for superior storage capacity and almost double the retentivity of standard cassette tapes for enhanced imaging of your recordings ensure your recordings will be higher-fidelity and stronger than ever. - The tape formulation was engineered and tested specifically in recalibrated and restored vintage TASCAM Portastudio workstations and stereo recording decks. - Made in USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B4PGBWPN | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,822 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3,371 in Music Recording Equipment | | Brand | Tascam | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 91 Reviews | | Item Type Name | 424-S C-60 High Bias Type II Studio Cassette | | Item Weight | 0.06 kg | | Manufacturer | TASCAM | | Media Speed | 1.875 IPS | | Mfr Part Number | 424S | | Model Number | 424S | | Recording Capacity | 60 minutes | | UPC | 043774035786 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | One (1) year from the date of original purchase. | | Write Speed | 1.875 IPS | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tascam - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.06 Kilograms - **Recording Capacity:** 60 Minutes - **Write Speed:** 1.875 IPS ## Images ![TASCAM 424-S High Bias Cobalt Type II C-60 Blank Studio Cassette Tape for Audio Recording and Mastering - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618Hy5wGDzL.jpg) ![TASCAM 424-S High Bias Cobalt Type II C-60 Blank Studio Cassette Tape for Audio Recording and Mastering - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lT08XI4dL.jpg) ![TASCAM 424-S High Bias Cobalt Type II C-60 Blank Studio Cassette Tape for Audio Recording and Mastering - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CLQcpmpGL.jpg) ![TASCAM 424-S High Bias Cobalt Type II C-60 Blank Studio Cassette Tape for Audio Recording and Mastering - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qJMGtDT+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can this be used on a conventional cassette player?** A: Yes. **Q: is there really only one cassette?** A: Yes! 1 hi bias cassette my husband needed it for recording on a 4 track machine and it does the job. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value!!!! *by C***Y on March 3, 2026* I picked up this Tascam Type II cassette to compare against some modern Type I tapes I had been using, and the difference was immediately noticeable.

I bought a couple of these and compared against some other, similar spec’d cassettes, using a Tascam Porta07 and a Yamaha MT4x. To my ears, they sound very good, no problems with hiss or other extraneous noises. Good quality. ### ⭐ quality of this tape is unacceptable *by C***N on October 24, 2025* The quality of this tape is unacceptable. It warbles and sounds distorted no matter what the volume I record at. I bought two in case one had a problem but that was only slightly better and I may have only imagined the improvement. Even RTM Type 1 is better than this. And NOS is way better than that. This tape isn't good for anything, if you have to buy new tape get RTM and if you're willing to buy New Old Stock ANYTHING is better than this! ## Frequently Bought Together - TASCAM 424-S High Bias Cobalt Type II C-60 Blank Studio Cassette Tape for Audio Recording and Mastering - Maxell UR 90 Normal Bias Blank Audio Recording Cassette Tape, Low Noise, 90 Minute Recording Time, 5 Pack - TDK SA 90 minute Super High Resolution Type II Audio Cassette Tape --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/454391888-tascam-424-s-high-bias-cobalt-type-ii-c-60](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/454391888-tascam-424-s-high-bias-cobalt-type-ii-c-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
